Size of Wrap: 6

How long has this wrap been used by you? 

1 week 

What size is the wrapee (ex: age, height & lbs): 

my primary wrapee is 13 months and 21 pounds

What is the thickness of this wrap (ex: thin, Med, Thick): 

I would consider this wrap medium thin

Did/Does it have cush:(The Definition of Cush varies but could be described as marshmellowyness, soft, moldable, comfortable, ability to adapt to your body) 

I would say this wrap has slight cush but given it’s dense weave it lays flatter on my shoulders than a typical cushy wrap. 

How did it feel on your shoulders:

Soft and easy on the shoulders.  No digging and no hardness.

How much diagonal stretch does the wrap have (ex: none- ace bandage like):

This wrap doesn’t have quite as much give as some of the other wool blends I have used however it still has a good amount of stretch giving it awesome moldability

How supportive did you find it in a single layer carry?

In a FWCC without the passes spread it was very comfortable and supportive.  I didn’t feel the need to spread the passes at all.  I did not use it in a single layer back carry.

How supportive did you find it in a double layer carry? 

I found it very supportive for a multilayer back carry.

Who do you think this wrap would best be geared to (ex: babies, toddlers, New Babywearers, Advanced Babywearers): 

This wrap would easily last you from newborn through toddlerhood.  It would be a good option in terms of wrapping qualities for beginners.  It is soft, moldable, easy to manipulate, passes slide into place easily and stay put. It also has teaching rails which allow a new wrapper to easily tell which rail is which.  Although wool is not something I typically recommend to new wrappers since it requires a little more care and attention than other blends it is certainly nothing to be afraid of or looked over simply for being slightly higher maintenance. This wrap arrived to me BNIB and it was soft right out of the box.  There was not a prickle to be felt! I would not have known it was wool without being told.

Would you recommend this wrap to a friend? Why? What did you love about it?

I would absolutely recommend this wrap.  In addition to the great wrapping qualities it is beautiful.  The purple and green work together so well and in such a fun way.  The purple is a nice bright purple and the green is just a hint of green that can easily be mistaken for grey in some light. The “right” side shows the all purple background with green clovers which have a nice shimmer when the purple and green mix together.  The “wrong” side I think is what makes this wrap really special though.  The way the clovers shimmer on the “right” side is really enhanced when it becomes the background for the “wrong” side and it has a fun iridescent look to it. 

Please tell us a little more about yourself (ex: how long have you been wearing, how many different wraps have you tried, what is your babywearing background):  

I have 3 children ages 4, 2 and 13 months.  I have worn each of them since they were born in various carrier types and have been primarily wrapping for the past 3 years. I currently serve as an ABE and Board Secretary for Babywearing International of North Central IL.
